In answer to the question. ''What
speed is attained by the fastest steamer
in the world?' The New York Sun re-
plies: The ordinary good torpedo boats
in foreign navies make about twenty
two miles an hour I'VE the measured
mile. There are a few, including the
American boat Stiletto, that can make
twenty-five miles an hour. The fastest
boat in the world is the French torpedo
boat Ouragan. She is credited with about
t%wenty-nine miles an hour. At that rate
she would move as fast us ordinary
passenger trains between New York and
Chicago average. Chicago Times.

TIE man who discovered how to make

The mar who discovered how to make
millions of feet of gas out of a barrel of
coal oil at a cost of little or nothing, has
been distanced by the mar who has con-
trived a method of burning oil on the sur
face of the water in such a way that bar
rel OF crude oil will furnish as much heat
as six tons of soft coal. In the face of
these discoveries the probable duration Of
natural gas wells becomes a question of
inconceiyable insigniicance.

FOUL PLAY SUSPECTED.
An Old Resident of sucker
Creek Cut and Rangied.

The Silver City Avalanche says !:
CDR. Mitchell was called to the resi-
dence of Martin Chrisman, an old
and respected citizen of Sucker
Creek, Owyhee county, and found
Mr.. Chrisman lying on his bed un-
conscious. One of his ears was cut
in two and hung down on his cheek,
his head was badly cut and his
skull was fractured in three places.
The doctor thinks the wounds were
inflicted with a Ratchet or some
similar instrument. 1t is not posi-
lively known how it occurred or
who did the deed, as Mr.. Chrisman
could not make any statement, but
suspicion strongly points toward
one Joseph Raney, with whom Mr..
Chrisman had had some trouble in
regard to his ranch, and who has
left for parts unknown.

Climate.

Can anyone who has felt the cool
night air and pleasant sunshine of
the past few weeks find any fault
with the climate of Nevada. In a
few years the people who have been
purchasing climate in Lower Cali
fornia will discover that it is merely
somuolent, voluptuous atmos.
phere for lazy people to grow fat in
and not the sort of air for active,
pushing men who are rustling to
develope a new State.
For resort for the sick, the lazy
and the rich, Southern California
has its advantages, but it can never
compare with the health giving eli
mate OF Nevada, that sends the
rich red blood through a mans
veins, that fires the train with en-
ergy and braces up the bones and
muscles for the active responsible
tiles of life. In a few years the
world will know all about this and
men will come trooping over here
to purchase Nevada climate. We
will give them a better article for
the same money.

Losing His Reason.

Young Grow, who shot and kill
ed "Curly" Hogan in Carson on
the 9TH of July, 1886, is slowly
but surely losing his reason. His
mind is shattered, and he labors I'M
der the impression that he is con-
tinually followed by parties who
seek to kill him. The shooting of
Hogan was entirely justifable, and
young Crow was fully exonorated /;
but the act has preyed upon his
mind until it can stand the strain
no longer, and it is only question
of short time when he will become
a mental wreck. In his rational
moments his conversation is per-
fectly natural, but even then wild
or scared look is discernible. Those
who are interested in the young
man should endeavor to induce him
to leave the immediate scene of the
tragedy, and amid other and more
pleasant surroundings he might
gradually forget the trouble that is
weighing upon him.-Journal.

Under the head of "Chippies,"
ard CA Screed which May Not be
Relished, but is Perfectly True"
the Grass Valley Tidings prints
column on the performances of
young girls in Grass Valley, and
the extraordinary gullibility of their
parents. We quote few extracts:
elf certain respectable and hon
orable fathers and mothers in Grass
Valley were to be told that their
daughters were termed "chippies"
by the young men, and others, the
party giving the information would
be deemed an officious liar, and
would incur the lifelong antagonism
of the parents he or she had en-
deavored to give friendly caution.
There are in this town girls who
make practice of 'mashing" male
members of theatrical troupes, OBJ
tanning complimentary tickets and
going for a walk after the perform
ance. These girls, as we said be-
fore, are daughters OF respectable
and respected parents VINO fondly
believe when their daughters come
home at IL o'clock or later, 81 went
to Annie's after the play and re-
manned longer than intended"
The gullible mothers and fathers
also believe their daughters to be
spending every evening until 10
O'Clock with schoolnates, when at
the same time they are prosmenad-
ing back streets with any chance
acquaintance.
There are girls in this town of the
class we have described, who are
known throughout the State and
even all over the Coast-advertised
as it were by their travelling ac-
qualntances. And the stories
told of these same girls, by these
same sfriends," are not of q nature
which would corroborate the fond
parents indignant assertions of
their daughters spotlessness. The
stories may be lies, but the actions
of the girls as known by our home
young men will not disavow the
tales.
"Where is my boy tonight ?" is
| often a loving mothers plant when
the lad fails to put in an appearance
at 10 O'Clock. The mother has no
fears about her girl. "Lizzie is
spending the evening with Maude,
her chum she will be. home at
half-past ten. She is all right, but
that Eddie is breaking my heart.
And that daughter, though but
sixteen years of age, knows more
than her mother does at forty.
The above is from the pen of Mr..
Rufus Shoemaker of Grass Valley
and we can assure him that his
friendly advice to parents will bring
| down upon him the concentrated
wrath of everybody who sanctions
the rum of young girls, and all OF
| the worthless characters of Grass
Valley whose criminal practices he
is exposing. In addition to this he
will get no thanks whatever from
the parents whose eyes he is trying
to open.
